jNURSING-BOTTLE I surPoRTER. 7

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX KLENETZKY, a resident of the city of New York, in'the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Nursingottle Supporter, of which the following is a specification. r

This invention relates to'dev'ices that are utilized in connection with baby carriages for the purpose of facilitating and rendering convenient the feeding of babies with the usual nursing bottles. The principal object of my" invention is to provide a simplified, inexpensive, and improved'iiursing bottle supporter that can be readily, rapidly, and conveniently'attached to'and detached from the baby carriage; which when the bottle 'is' not in use will atall times maintain it in inoperative position entirely out of the'way and will itself remain unobstnuctive; and which after the baby has lost hold of the bottlenipple, will prevent the bottle from rolling away and will enable the baby to again grasp it and return it to its mouth.

Other objects and advantages will hereinafter appear. 1 In'the accompanying drawings, 1

Figure 1 is a plan view of the nursing bottle supporter, showing a bottle held thereby in operative state. 7 t t Fig. 2 is an elevation of the nursing bottle supporter shown in Fig. l.

A nursing bottle 1 is held by a set-screw 2 in a circular frame or collar 2 that is piv oted at 3 to a flexible arm-4 which extends to a fitting 5 that is fastened to the frame work 6 of the side of a baby carriage, not shown. The arm 4 consists and the last link of which is secured to the fitting 5. Said fitting is fastened in place by means of a thumb-screw 9 threading therethrough against the carriage frame 6, the screw threading through a wing 10 of a strap-portion 11 of the fitting and causing an opposite wing 12 to bind against the carriage-frame 6. To the fitting 5 is secured a stem 13 about which is hinged a cylindrical casing 14 comprising a pair of halves 15, each of which is hinged about the stem 13. The casing-halves 15 may be swung about the hinge-stem 13 away from each other, as shown in Fig. 1, and they are nor mally drawn toward each other by a spring 16 secured to each of the casing-halves at Application filed October 13,1917.

Patented May other perinits extension of any amount or portionof the arm 4 and thereby enables lateral adjustment of the bottle 1 to any position nearer to or farther from the ,carriage-side 6, and when said bottle is thus adjusted the arm 4 is maintained longitudinally extended in'horizontal state, Fig. 1, and holds the bottle in adjusted position. Should any pull or pressure, however, be applied at the nipple bottlel, the arm 4 is sufficiently flexible to permitbending thereof andto thus give upwardly or downwardly or diagonally or universally in any direction.

which is not in extended positionis'retained in folded state upon the fitting 5, by means 17: Pivoting of the arm-sections 7 to each 20 over the mouth of V The remaining portion-19 of the arm 4 ing the casing-halves 15 together so that their edges 18 intervene between the last extended link 7 and the folded arm-sec; t1ons at 19, thereby preventing the latter links from being accidentally extended- After the baby'has been fed and the nursing bottle is not in use all of the extended arm-sections 7 maybe folded upon the pile 19 and within the casing-halves 15, where- .upon the casing-halves will be drawn together closer by the spring 16 and caused to completely incase or inclose the entire arm 4 in locked folded state therewithin and to retain the frame 2 with the bottle 1 thereagainst and adjacent to the carriage-side 6, whereby the nursing bottle will be thus maintained safely and conveniently in place out of the way of the baby and without obstructing the -various articles'in the carriage.

When utilizing the supporter, its fitting 5 is secured to the carriage-side 6 in such position that the nipple 20 may be conveniently brought to the babys mouth, and then the bottle 1 is adjusted laterally, by ample extension of arm 4 to bring the nipple into the babys mouth, leaving the remainder of the arm in locked fol'ded state within the casing 14, as shown. It will be evident that should the baby move its head and mouth in any manner, while feeding from the nipple 20, the arm 4 will allow the bottle to swing or move freely longitudinally, angularly, or laterally as may be required, and during all such movement of the babys head and of the bottle along therewith, the supporter will continue to maintain the bottle in operative state at its mouth and in connected relation with the supporter. Should the baby however let go the nursing bottle altogether, it would continue to be maintained by the extended arm 4: in operative state, enabling the baby to grasp said arm and thereby take hold of the bottle to again return the nipple to its mouth. After utilizing the supporter .its arm A can be completely folded and locked within the casing 14, and the supporter can be then readily detached from the carriage entirely, by merely untightening the thumb-screw 9.

Variations may be resorted to within the scope of the invention.

Having thus described by invention, I claim 1. A nursing bottle supporter having the combination with means for attaching it to and detaching it from a baby carriage, of a flexible arm for holding the bottle in operative state adaptable to be folded, and a retaining casing having means to open and close for inserting and closing said arm therewithin in folded state.

2. A nursing bottle supporter having the combination of an arm which is flexible and also extensible for holding the bottle in operative state adaptable to be folded, and a casing comprising two halves thereof hinged to each other and adapted to open and close for inserting and closing said arm therewithin in folded state.

3. A nursing bottle supporter having the combination of an arm which is flexible and also extensible for holding the bottle in operative state adaptable to be folded, a oasing comprising two halves thereof hinged to each other and adapted to open and close for inserting and closing said arm there within in folded state, and a spring drawing said casing-halves together to lock said arm therewithin.

4. A nursing bottle supporter having the combination with means for attaching it to Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Washington, D. 0.

, York, this 9th and detaching it from a baby carriage, of an arm which is flexible and also extensible for holding the bottle in operative state adapted to be partially folded and partially extended, a casing comprising two halves thereof hinged to each other and adapted to of said arm therewithin while the remainder thereof is in extended state, and a spring drawing said casing-halves toward each other to lock the folded portion of said arm in folded state.

6. A nursing bottle supporter having the combination of a universally flexible arm for holding the bottle in operative state comprising a plurality of sections hinged to each other and adapted to be partially folded and partially extended, a casing comprising two halves hinged to each other and adapted to open and close for retaining the folded portion of said arm therewithin while the remainder thereof is in extended state, and a spring drawing said casing halves toward each other to lock the folded portion of said arm in folded state.
